Whoever thought that hybrids were wimpy, think again. The Subaru XV Crosstrek Hybrid is one powerful puller.

Everyone knows Subaru's reputation for making cars that love the snow. Driving a Subaru is the next best thing to a team of huskies. The XV Crosstrek comes set up for easy towing, and is standard with 4WD.

An automotive journalist was testing out his new XV Crosstrek Hybrid in a rare North Carolina blizzard. Specifically, he was looking for southern drivers ill-prepared for snow that he could help out with his Subaru, and was filming his adventure to blog about later.

When he came upon this delivery truck, he got much more than he bargained for.

He was going to give it his all anyway, and the result was this amazing footage of a little hybrid Subaru pulling a massive truck out of a snowy embankment.
